That attitude was on full display as the Comets (6-4) beat the Blue Devils 16-6 Tuesday night in Evansville. DDHS quarterback Michael Gonzalez completed seven of 16 passes for 104 yards, and rushed for more than 100 as Delavan-Darien racked up 301 yards of total offense.

"Our kids did it all over the field," Tenhagen said. "I'm so proud of their effort."

The Comets struck first when Gonzalez threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Aaron Logterman in the second quarter. Although the extra-point kick failed, the Comets added a field goal before halftime and headed to the locker room with a 9-0 lead.

Evansville threatened to get on the board to start the second half. However, a 41-yard kickoff return was wasted when drive stalled and the Blue Devils missed a field goal.

The Comets added to their lead when defensive end Kyle Ball intercepted a pass by Evansville quarterback Andrew Keister that bounced off the intended receiver. Ball returned the pick 40 yards for a touchdown.
